Chapter 11

As soon as the party was over, it started to rain. The animals were frightened and confused from what they saw inside the window. Lightning struck near them and a flash gave off a silhouette that resemblance of a pig. The pigs came up to the animals and introduce himself. The animals have never seen this pig around the farm and didn’t know how to react due to the mistrust of the pigs. The pig’s skin is white as snow, he’s fat as an ox, and he looks tough as nails. “Who are you?” said Clover. “My name is Iggy and I’m here to stop the cruel Napoleon and take back what was yours.” said the pig. “Why would a pig want to stop one of his own kinds?” asked Benjamin. Iggy answered, “We’ve heard from the birds that Animal Farm is being run …show more content…

“The pigs’ original plan was of course; control all of your lives without free will. But some decided, including me, that the plan will not go forth. So there was a split group among the pigs, one who agrees and one who disagrees. And so, that is the whole truth of this situation.” “What are we going to do with Napoleon?” Clover asked. “With all the pain and suffering Napoleon did of the animals of Animal Farm, he and the dogs should both be buried alive!” Snowball answered. Napoleon tried to call out to Squealer and the rest of the pigs, but as soon as they saw the dogs underneath with him, they all panic and ran away. Snowball covered up the ground where no squealing or howling is every heard of again. Napoleon tyranny is finally over. “With Napoleon gone, who’s going to be looking after the barn?” Clover asked. “Comrades, from my time staying at Foxwood, I learned something from there. Not all men are evil. We were unfortunate to have a bad farmer to take care of us. For the time being, we will help each other out until a new farmer arrives.” The animals were surprised to hear this after all they worked for. But they know that taking this path is the right choice for them. “Today, animals will help men, and men will help animals as

Hence, tearing out their throats. Almost as soon as Napoleon and Snowball seize power, Napoleon starts squirreling away the cows' milk all for himself. And then the pigs start sleeping in the humans' beds. And then they start drinking whiskey and having rowdy parties.

The rulers of the farm take advantage of the low reading skills that the rest of the animals possess and use that weakness against them, as the animals just believe whatever the pigs tell them to, as they have no reason not to. The pigs’ goals seem intact and they do

The pigs took away rights and lives of their own citizens as did the Soviet’s, which helps teach what the book was trying to show that when these political figures gain such power, that they should not use it to only their advantage but to everyone’s. This can be represented at the end of the book when Napoleon has a meeting with humans and starts to resemble the humans exactly. This is because Napoleon used his power for his own well-being like the humans and eventually resembled one. “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” pg.124 The image of the pigs appearance is tarnished by the way the pig treated his citizen as did Stalin.

Only puppies and pigs can live in the house, sleep in the bed, eat apples and cookies and have all of the best things. As the history is developing, Napoleon is getting more and more like a dicator.

Moreover, he broke some rules, he’s in contact with humans, and he had hours of works, and he killed aniamsl, and change the only commandment for “4 legs good, 2 legs better”. He also think that “Every animals are equal, but some are more equal then others.”

Furthermore, Napoleon gives the other animals the impression he was the sole leader of the rebellion on Animal farm and makes Snowball -a leader who wanted what was best for the animals- seem like an enemy who was in cahoots with Farmer Jones since long before the animals took over the farm. Napoleon and Squealer (another “fat cat” pig.) always put the blame on Snowball whenever something went wrong in the farm to avoid having the blame fall on them. Napoleon is an exemplary example of just how selfish and hypocritical people can be in furthering their own aims because he continued to subtly but purposely change the seven rules put in place as the pillars of animalism. For example, Napoleon and the other pigs move into Farmer Jones’s house and sleep in his bed after commanding “No animal shall sleep in a bed”, so he changes the commandment to read “no animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets”.

Napoleon’s system of ruling is no different, if not even more dictatorial, than that of Mr. Jones because he can never be appeased by his starving desire for more power. He shows that there is no guarantee of satisfaction to greed because it never ceases to grow. Orwell illustrates this visualization perfectly through Animal Farm by using Napoleon’s unceasingly growing desire for power to bring upon destruction to the social

In a essence Napoleon the pig becomes the persona of “Someone to believe in,” for the animals. After Snowball was chased out, Napoleon most importantly and the pigs become the guidance for the animals lives. “Napoleon is always right”(Orwell 70), said by Boxer the horse, expresses his strong belief in his intelligence and guidance. The more and more, the story progresses, the more religion takes the role of keeping the animals organized and in harmony of the pig’s leadership and system. Although, “The Seven Commandments” start to change, the animals chose to keep following them.

Who would have ever thought that a simple dictator could have so much in common with a pig from a book. It’s quite silly actually to think about it almost makes it seem like it 's a common thing for a dictator to make decisions like these. Though the things that Putin and Napoleon did are very weird both of them did it which makes it seem like it actually isn’t that weird especially for two dictators to do. No matter how common it is for dictators to pull stunts like the examples that have been given it is wrong nonetheless. As this essay is being written it is questioned, why is it that most dictators do terrible things and why isn’t their a dictator doing something good for a

Napoleon was becoming a worse dictator than Mr.Jones and had manipulated us into believing he was the best. I now can’t tell who is man or pig. My perspective of a utopian society now has changed a great deal after that experience. I believe we need a society where we don’t have a leader but if we did they would have limited power. All the animals could take time off of work once or twice a week, have full portions of food, and raise his/her’s own young.

Napoleon had all the privileges and rights to amend the rules to fit his needs but there were severe consequences for those who questioned his authority or broke the rules he had established. The four pigs who had protested when Napoleon abolished the Sunday Meetings were singled out to be colluding with Snowball and pressured into confessing their crimes. The dogs “promptly tore their throats out” in front of all the animals. The hens that took part in the rebellion confessed that they were incited by Snowball appearing in their dreams and they were duly slaughtered along with a string of other animals. Along with power, corruption seeps into the farm.
